That's what we're intending to do. And I asked for (my) clarity; I
didn't mean to complain. We're always short of time, even sometimes
wondering whether we should switch to some black-bock SMTP app. So it's
simply a matter of time that we never set up the test suite.

Sounds familiar... ;)
Maybe "next year" we can have a colleague who speaks C take a look into
it. Until then we're trying to build exim without dkim - which we won't
need anyway I guess.

Thanks, we'll try that.
